[Python-Dev] Re: PEP 654 -- Exception Groups and except* : request for feedback for SC submission

Ideally, (at least) trivial subclasses could be declared, and the class itself would serve as the marker. I would prefer regular subclasses, so that they could offer methods as well. Alternatively, at least copy the instance __dict__ to the new ExceptionGroup instance.

By compatible __init__ and __new__, I mean "whatever you do in ExceptionGroup.subgroup to create a new instance with fewer contained Exceptions ... do the same with MyExceptionGroup." I'm assuming that "whatever" is to call __new__ and __init__ with "a message string and a sequence of the nested exceptions, for example: ExceptionGroup('issues', [ValueError('bad value'), TypeError('bad type')])."
